    I love this mic! From the sound to the packaging it’s fantastic. Straight out of the box it sounds great. You can download software to optimize it for your specific use. I like the weight of the mic and the included stand. I’ve put it on an arm but you could set it on your desktop with the stand. It registers a little more bass unless you tweak the settings. Overall just a great mic for the price!

    This was a result of extensively researching a good quality usb mic that won’t break the bank. Been using this for about a month or so and has been working as expected, no hiccups with Windows and other SW,

    Was wanting to get into using a mic rather than a headset. Was weighting the options between this usb mice vs the xlr version. This one sounds amazing at the price. The elgato software is a breeze to figure out to fine tune your voice

    I bought this mic the moment they revealed it and said it had a clipguard feature. I stream 3-4 times a week, but at least one of the streams includes my two youngest kids and they can get loud. This mic helps to counteract their volume spikes with the clipguard feature that removes the peaks from the volume spikes. The ability to adjust/tweak all of my volume settings from a single piece of software has made this prodect great.

    I assume I have set up this microphone correctly and I am a live streamer so for me the results on my livestream now coming from using a Steelseries headset microphone before is much better. Not only that, but I'm using the Elgato Wave Link program to help improve voice quality drastically, avoid peak levels, and even cut out a lot of background noise I just couldn't do much about with less robust software and a less dedicated microphone like the one on my Steelseries headset.

    Great low key microphone for streaming. Not distracting at all and the tap to mute is very good, although it is a little bit sensitive. I've found that the noise cancelling only really works for discord, but that's mostly what I use it for other than streaming, great mic.
